Non-invasive hip or upper leg ultrasound
An MSK scan is a non-invasive technique, so any pain or discomfort experienced during the process shouldn’t be cause for concern. Sound waves are used to create a detailed image of soft tissue.
You won’t feel anything other than gel being put to the injured region.
